OnePlus 7t pro Mclaren 5G battery drain

[JedixJarf]

How many days do we have to take it back ? Let me know if they give you a hard time with a return. Thinking about taking mine back too

I ordered mine online, so I have 20 days from time of delivery to make sure its post marked by.

Been contemplating returning mine as well. Had no such issues with the 7 Pro.

Debating hopping on the Note10+ 5g to give it a try

The Note10+ 5G (US) is not bootloader unlockable, unfortunately, and it likely won't ever be.

True but I'd only have it for 6 months give or take and I haven't focused too much on rooting or unlocking devices much anymore. So for me doesn't matter THAT much

It's really surprising to me that it's so bad for some users that they're starting to return them.

These were my results from my 3rd full charge. Only had phone couple days. It seems to be pretty consistent on my end with 6 hrs sot.

I notice you're only getting LTE. Is that because you disabled 5G or just because you weren't in range?

New McLaren

Okay, so new phone in hand. Gonna spend the day with it on default settings all around and see what happens, only this time I did NOT enable smart unlock... Figured maybe that can contribute?

I would recommend you guys to check about your cpu usage if you use custom kernels, mostly prime cluster. In the newest update, the prime core or cluster 3 is 100% used on max. freq all the time due to the oneplus service using it. affected in 10.0.7 and 10.0.5 firmwares using custom kernels (heard somewhere that maybe affected using root and stock kernel too). you have to root and use magisk to flash the module I attached. After that you should get better screen on time, I was getting 3-4hrs sot but after that module I get 7-8hours sot.

Battery Drain Solution: (Aggressive Doze via Naptime with Tasker making sure rules are applied/imposed & keep monitoring apps via GSam Battery Monitor Pro for app adjustments later on / individual app battery settings)

Playstore:

- Naptime -> $0.99 minimum (seems to be a very honest Developer by the way)
- Tasker -> $3.49 (Optional)
- GSam -> $2.49 (Optional) (or you can use stock Battery Monitor)

I will ONLY include Naptime Settings since I don't expect many people will actually invest $6.97 on these 3 apps. (legitimate way)

I guarantee you will get amazing battery life with all 3 apps combined, but with Naptime only, you will see a HUGE difference in battery consumption when leaving it overnight or screen off. Yes, HUGE difference, otherwise I wouldn't be wasting my time with this post.

After installing Apps...

ADB Commands:

Naptime

adb -d shell pm grant com.franco.doze android.permission.DUMP
adb -d shell pm grant com.franco.doze android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS

... if using GSam

adb -d shell pm grant com.gsamlabs.bbm.pro android.permission.BATTERY_STATS

Follow screenshots... *Make sure ALL 3 Apps are set to "Don't Optimize" (If using Naptime only, then make sure Naptime is set to "Don't Optimize") Also... if using a Galaxy Watch or any other Bluetooth device, simply don't use the "Disable Bluetooth on Doze" option in Naptime Settings.

This guide assumes you know a few things about ADB, Phone Settings... bla bla...

As I stated earlier, I was using nap time for a bit and it did help a little bit but my problem wasn't really stand by time. On top of that it was delaying notifications for so many apps it just wasn't worth it. Not to mention we shouldn't need to have to do any of this stuff.

As far as rooting goes, it's been forever since I last rooted... I finance the phone through T-Mobile which means I can't unlock the bootloader, I can't remember but I don't think you can flash things or root the phone even if the bootloader is locked correct?

I turned off all the experience improvement programs. Cpu usage has gone down on cores 0-3. But it could all be in my head too.

@MambaBean24 , apparently, people have said this worked for 5G McLaren as well: https://xdaforums.com/oneplus-7t/how-to/t-mobile-free-op7t-sim-unlocking-t4014053

This phone is able to be rooted. I'm rooted right now. I also made a guide on this procedure in the other sub-forum. Anyhow, no you cannot root without unlocking the bootloader. Also, regarding the battery...mine sucks. Even with greenify rooted. It's better I think with greenify, but still something is wrong. I might try this Tasker method though. Please post some results after you've been running this setup for a while.

Think I found my major issue with the battery drain.
Adguard. Used it on the past three phones before the McLaren, never had any major consumption issues with it I honestly didn't consider it when I first installed it immediately when I got the phone and have been using it for the past week and a half. It did not using that much battery. And I know their explanation is that since all traffic goes through it it appears to be using more battery than it is. But I feel like this might be an issue with Android 10 because in this case it does appear to be actually using all that battery.

So I just tried to give it a shot today, the battery test before and after while doing Christmas stuff all day leaving my phone be playing a YouTube video for hours at a time.

Only thing that's changed between these two screenshots was uninstalling Adguard. So just a thought, suggestion if anyone else is using it or a similar application.
(also my 5G is enabled in both even though it doesn't look that way in the screenshots, it's just set for Auto, so it went back to 4G)
Before and after Adguard:

 

[MambaBean24]

Deleted google apps

So I deleted the google dialer, as well as messages and a few other google apps that replaced the stock oneplus ones I had disabled and it seems that solved my problem (mostly, still not getting 8 hours SOT lol!)
Both pictures are showed after I tired this but the first one shows what the battery life was like up until that point,
